The Classic Game of Intrigue,
Trust, and Treachery, now redesigned with crappy pieces (our opinion)!
Still, it's nice to have this wonderful game available again even if in this
format. At the turn of the 20th century, the seven Great European Powers engage in an intricate struggle for supremacy. Military forces invade and withdraw, shifting borders and altering empires with subtle maneuvers and daring gambits. Your job is to form alliances and unhatch your traitorous plots as you negotiate and outwit—in a delicate balance of cooperation and competition—to gain dominance of the continent! Your success hinges not on the luck of the dice, but your cunning and cleverness. The 50th Anniversary Edition of Diplomacy contains: * 30" x 20" Game Board * 20 count strategy map pad * 315 army, navy, and national control markers. Ages 12+, for 2-7, but best with 5-7 players; easy to learn but can take a long time to play. Click image to enlarge | $29.87 |

Facts in Five: Reintroduction of the most popular Bookshelf Game from 3M (and
later Avalon Hill) in the 1960s; a classic fact-filled game. Get your
friends together for a die-hard trivia challenge. Players must name five
members of five categories before their time runs out. For example, can you
name Presidents starting with the letters P, B, G, T and W? It's harder than
it looks! Invented by Rick Onanian, this classic is played throughout the
world. Our take: This is one of our favorite games. It is the forerunner of Scattergories, Trivial Pursuit, and, for that matter, all "party" / trivia games. It can be played by 2-5 players (more in teams). One unique feature is that play will gear itself to the players involved. It can be as hard or easy as those playing choose to make it. Everyone plays at the same time, so no sitting around waiting for turns. Each game (or round) takes only 5 minutes. Welcome back to a true classic. | $27.72 |

New World Carcassonne:
In this latest Carcassonne game, players begin
as the early settlers of the United States did on the east coast of America.
As they explore westward, they build towns, farms, paths, and compete to
score more points than the others players. As exploration moves to the west,
players who are slow to complete the features they have started will find
themselves left behind - with no points! For 2-5 players, ages 8+ When you first open the game, you get the impression that all designer Klaus-Jürgen Wrede simply changed the location from France to America. You'd be wrong. The feel is still Carcassonne but the game play & strategy is quite different. Further, with 2 players NEW WORLD plays very differently than with 3 (or 4, or 5 for that matter). There were 2 places where the rules were a bit vague, but we went with 1 of the 2 possible interpretations that made sense and played on. All in all, a worthy addition to the Carcassonne line. | $ 24.64 | |

Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers:
This is a new game (not an expansion) in the Carcassonne
line. It has new graphics, a new set of components, a theme set in the stone age, and new rules to match the
theme. As in Carcassonne, players place tiles and put game figures on them, but with different strategies and
results. Players have figures that can represent hunters, gatherers, or fishermen and place them in meadows,
forests, or on rivers. There are special forest tiles that give the player who plays a tile completing a forest an
extra tile lay of special tiles with special features. Players will like this game that features the tile-laying and
token placements of Carcassonne with many new twists. Author: Klaus-Jürgen Wrede, Players: 3-5 aged 8 and up, Length: 60 minutes |

Facts in Five:
Reintroduction of the most popular Bookshelf
Game from 3M (and later Avalon Hill) in the 1960s; a classic fact-filled
game. Get your friends together for a die-hard trivia challenge. Players
must name five members of five categories before their time runs out. For
example, can you name Presidents starting with the letters P, B, G, T and W?
It's harder than it looks! Invented by Rick Onanian, this classic is played
throughout the world. Our take: This is one of our favorite games. It is the forerunner of Scatergories, Trivial Pursuit, and, for that matter, all "party" / trivia games. It can be played by 2-5 players (more in teams). One unique feature is that play will gear itself to the players involved. It can be as hard or easy as those playing choose to make it. Everyone plays at the same time, so no sitting around waiting for turns. Each game (or round) takes only 5 minutes. Welcome back to a true classic. | $27.72 |
